pictures of my new turbo and wastegate on the car
i finished my up pipe today with my external wastegate. i though it was going to be harder but this was a piece of cake. as far as any fabrication, i do all of the work myself. as soon as i finished the downpipe i will send everything out to get coated. hope you like the pictures.

if it is MIG, and you did it yourself......what setup are you using??? i wanna try aluminum with my MIG, just haven't gotten around to it yet

its tig. i only have a tig welding. it cost more money to convert a mig welder to aluminum mig. i just like to tig everything. its more precise that way.

yeah.....100% argon and aluminum wire on a spool gun. it's not that expensive to hook up but a good buddy of mine that i offroad with works at an airport where they custom fab allison tubine engines to cesna 210's.........so they have a TIG setup there that is half the size of my car.......and he's pro.....so i let him do all my hard stuff.......i stick to the steel!!!!!
the door bars and harness bars on my jeep are TIG and they look so good!!! the only prob is that they make all my MIG welds look like SH*T!!!!! HAHAHA!!!!! oh well!!!! later, riggs

holy dear god, that is awesome. you better be careful that turbo doesn't suck your entire car into it, that thing is gigantor!!! where do you plan on redlining? and who makes the t04r? garrett? i can't get over how ridiculous that is. you're running a 6MT with this setup right? good luck, great pics, and keep us posted.
